shiverbones Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 For my 10,000th post.... A personal grail! I just got this in today, I bought it sight unseen, and almost fell over when I saw how nice it was & that it is a white paged copy! Very hard to find Four Color #5 from 1942, the 1st Raggedy Ann & Andy comic! I have seen a couple of these over the last few years, but always 3 or 4 times over guide. This was at straight guide & I couldn't be happier! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Matthew well done steve! now hurry up and upgrade some of those jackpots and send those old rags down south. I Miss it already! Steve has been more than generous with me over the years, too many instances to list here. I was happy to trade him that copy because I know he really wanted it, & I appreciate his help not only with selling/ trading/ and even "giving" me Comics I really wanted, but also his support with my art.

G.A.tor Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 all great, but that WF 54 is impossibly difficult to locate, even in low grade! that's interesting. do you know why? a myriad of reasons... most all DC's from the early to mid 1950's are generally "scarce"...and, WF were kind of cheesy when the comic market was not so pro Superhero.... sales were down, so production was down, and you still had SOTI, etc... but WF from 50's-60's are all generally very scarce...
